**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

We are trying to sort out how we'll see The Force Awakens since we have a 1 year old who won't handle a theater. We thought we'd each take one of the older boys, but I'm thinking it might be best for both boys to go at the same time so they can talk about it. We could get a sitter but we normally only see movies at the base theater so seeing it at a regular theater will be sticker shock for us! Well worth it though! (I secretly keep hoping they'll have a sneak preview on base! But I'm sure that would require a lot of time in line!)

Hi DISers! I just found this thread, thank you so much for all your efforts! I'm a co-planner for an alum reunion, and we're going to WDW for our first SWW. (Due to booking deadlines, we're assuming the Force is strong for SWW in June2016.) My husband and I are looking into volunteering at Give Kids the World while we're down there for the costume/Halloween night at the Village. Thanks again for all your insights. As a SWW first-timer, it's helpful to hear your experiences and news.
May the Force be with all y'all!

Oh that would be amazing!

 

[LoKiHB]

Luke ominously absent from the poster... Or is he????

 

[yulilin3]

And I just saw the teaser of the trailer on ABC Family, it's the BB8 scene and says Tune in Monday Night Football

 

[yulilin3]

I'm assuming we will get details on the after party tomorrow by DPB or we will just have to wait for the evening when they open up the tickets.

Our local theater has their link up and ready, but it says to come back for the tickets tomorrow. They are also offering a special magazine and glass for purchase. I think I will get the glasses but maybe not the magazine. We got the glasses for Minions, and they are really fun.

I just changed my post, don't know why the link didn't work

And... and... right after the trailer they'll announce everyone should come to WDW for SWW this May and June!

Right? Nah, nah... let's not oversell it...

(And where's Luke? Was the beard not photogenic? And why do they have to spoil who the new jedi/ex-stormtrooper is in the movie poster and original trailer!?)

(Not really getting warm fuzzies about this movie at all...)

 

[Skywise]

Is the preorder still starting at 8pm tomorrow night for the movie theaters?

Aw man, I hope they have an after party at Disneyland. Though I'm thinking they won't or they'd have already announced it. You Orlando locals get all the good stuff (said very jealously).

Have we heard yet if it is going to be midnight showings or maybe something like a 7 pm showing? If they are having an after party I can't imagine it will be a midnight showing, then an after party.

I'm confused about when tickets go on sale. Do they go on sale tonight at midnight, or is it sometime tomorrow?

I'm thinking Luke isn't on it because there is something mysterious going on with his character, and Abrams doesn't want it revealed yet. I still think it'd be the greatest Abrams misdirection ever if Luke ends up being one of the bad guys that we think is being played by someone else.

I don't know why I'm making posts to everyone instead of making one big post. Too excited I guess.

I wouldn't mind having these glasses. I wonder if I can pre-order tickets for a Monday or Tuesday showing after we get back and pre-order the glasses for that showing.
